Qatar’s $3B Land of Legends Theme Park to Welcome 2M Visitors Annually

Qatar is poised to make a major mark on the global entertainment landscape with the upcoming launch of its $3 billion mega-development: Land of Legends, an immersive theme park destination that is already under construction. Once completed, the attraction is expected to welcome up to 2 million visitors per year, transforming the country into a premier tourism and leisure hotspot in the Middle East.

Located on a sprawling 650,000-square-meter site, Land of Legends will feature seven uniquely themed zones, each offering cutting-edge attractions, entertainment experiences, and hospitality tailored to both regional and international visitors.

A Game-Changer for Qatar’s Leisure Sector

The landmark project aligns with Qatar’s National Vision 2030, which aims to diversify the country’s economy by developing high-impact sectors such as tourism, culture, and entertainment. By introducing a world-class theme park on this scale, Qatar is positioning itself as a formidable player in the regional leisure and attractions industry—historically dominated by the UAE.

A spokesperson involved in the development said:

“Land of Legends is not just a theme park—it’s a multi-sensory experience that will set new standards for entertainment in the region. With world-class attractions, themed experiences, and luxury hospitality, it will redefine family leisure in the Gulf.”

What to Expect: Zones, Villas & Dining

While specific themes of the seven zones have not yet been fully revealed, the development promises a wide variety of immersive experiences, including:

• Thrilling amusement rides and roller coasters
• Spectacular daily boat parades
• Upscale dining options from global culinary brands
• Boutique retail outlets
• Luxurious private villas and resorts integrated within the park grounds

The emphasis on both high-octane entertainment and premium lifestyle elements suggests the park will cater to families, young travelers, and affluent visitors looking for a unique blend of adventure and elegance.

Strategic Impact

The scale of the project is expected to have significant economic impact, not only generating thousands of jobs in construction, operations, and hospitality, but also stimulating investment in supporting infrastructure and real estate developments in surrounding areas.

Experts say Land of Legends could become a magnet for real estate investors seeking to benefit from increased tourism-related activity and demand for nearby accommodations.

Regional Competition Heats Up

Land of Legends will enter a competitive yet growing regional market. Dubai’s theme parks, including Motiongate and IMG Worlds of Adventure, have set benchmarks for leisure tourism in the Gulf. However, Qatar’s entry with a $3 billion investment underscores its ambition to build a distinct identity in the sector—leveraging its stability, strategic location, and rising international profile post-World Cup 2022.
